How to paint without scaffolding. What Not To Do.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video introduces the challenge: painting around a ceiling fan suspended 24 feet up in a two-story ceiling without scaffolding. It then outlines the improvised solution, which involves a 10-foot A-frame ladder acting as a base, with a 24-foot extension ladder leaning against it. Although not explicitly shown being laid down, the room floor is covered with drop cloths to protect from paint drips, which is standard practice for painting projects.

Goal: Understand the unconventional high-reach painting method and protect the floor.

Tools and materials

  • 10-foot A-frame ladder Husky — Serving as the base support for the extension ladder
  • 24-foot extension ladder — Providing vertical reach to the ceiling fan
  • Drop Cloths — Protecting the floor from paint drips

In this video, we got Drew demonstrating how to paint around a ceiling fan suspended 24 ft up in a ceiling without using scaffolding. We've got a 12 a 10-ft ladder with a 24-ft ladder leaning up against the 10-ft ladder. We got Gamo standing on the 10-ft ladder creating weight. We got Eric holding back on the ladder.
